The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1182

“So, this is your plan?”

After listening to Heinrich’s words, Mainz raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

Heinrich didn’t look like he was joking, but Mainz thought the plan he proposed was questionable.

“That’s right, Führer!”

Heinrich nodded seriously. Although from the Führer’s reaction, he didn’t seem to approve of his plan.

However, Heinrich himself was full of confidence in this plan.

“What did Manstein say after you finished talking to him?”

Mainz was very curious about Manstein’s reaction. He felt that Heinrich’s words were unreliable after listening to them. As a front-line general, Manstein’s reaction would probably be more intense than his own!

“Uh, General Manstein thought I was daydreaming, so he kicked me out before I could finish my plan!”

Heinrich was a little embarrassed

“Haha, if it were me, I might be more polite to you!”

Mainz joked,”Manstein has a large army, and Moscow is already an undefended city to him, so he is probably not interested in accepting your proposal at this moment. After all, the military hopes to take this place by force and bring it under their control. After all, this is a real achievement!”

Heinrich nodded, agreeing with what Führer Mainz said.

So many people in the military are waiting for this military achievement!

Accepting the negotiations and surrender of the Russians, taking over Moscow, and sending troops to capture Moscow are completely different. At least that’s the case for the military, because if Moscow is accepted peacefully, then a large part of the credit will be taken away by the SS.

Even the main credit belongs to the SS!

But if they use force and take the city themselves, that’s another story.

The butt determines the head, and as long as Manstein is still the commander-in-chief of the German front, he can’t help but think about the problem from the military’s perspective.

However, Mainz did not completely deny Heinrich’s proposal. Moscow has important military and political significance, so like Manstein, he hopes that the German army can take over the city directly.

In this way, the Russians in this city can see the powerful military strength of the empire and give them It left a deep shock in their hearts, so that they dared not go against the empire.

When Denikin’s puppet government is established, and then they fight with the remnants of the bear in the east, with the comparison, these people will cherish the current peaceful life.

Moreover, the war will boost the local economy. After all, the German army will purchase a large amount of supplies from the local area, and it may even help them restore certain industries so that they can meet the combat and support needs of the German army.

This will also boost the local economy to a certain extent, stimulate local employment, and greatly improve the living standards of the local people.

At least, compared with the east ruled by Starling and the red bear, living in the German-ruled area, they don’t have to worry about being affected by the war, and their own life safety is guaranteed.

If the problems of work and life can be solved, there will be even less to complain about!

Therefore, from Manstein’s point of view, it is not wrong not to adopt Heinrich’s proposal.

However, Heinrich’s proposal is not completely without merit.

“Denikin’s people are about to leave. You can compile a list of the people in Moscow and have the Ministry of the Interior review it. If it is confirmed that the group of people can be used, it is not impossible to rub some sand into Denikin’s side!”

Regarding the issue of supporting Denikin, the Third Reich was not all smooth sailing.

Some people expressed support, while others expressed opposition.

The supporters believed that the population of the Russian Bear was large and the area was too large. If the Empire swallowed it all in one bite, it would not be able to digest it. Instead, it would become a bottomless black hole, causing the Empire to continue to invest large amounts of money but see no results.

In this case, once the local Russians feel that their lives are not satisfactory, they will definitely blame their unsatisfactory lives on the head of the Third Reich.

And with this kind of resentment and even anger, resistance in the Russian Bear territory is likely to emerge in an endless stream.

At that time, in order to suppress these rebellions, the Empire will have to station heavy troops in the Russian Bear territory.

The cost of stationing these troops is very high. The cost of raising funds and suppressing the rebellion is probably an astronomical figure.

What’s more, suppression is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. If you want to solve the root cause, you must invest more money and manpower and material resources to help them solve employment and life problems.

The Russians are so big, with so many people, and the domestic infrastructure is so bad. It is very, very difficult to solve the work and life problems of so many people and help them improve their living standards.

If you do it well, the Russians will call you an invader, not only will they not be grateful to you, but they will have stronger power to resist you after they become stronger. If you don’t do it well, it will be even worse. If the Russians feel that they can’t survive, they will definitely launch a large-scale resistance.

To deal with this kind of The Empire is somewhat powerless in this situation.

Russia is different from the United States. The United States is very wealthy, has a developed industry, and is extremely rich in natural resources. They have a very good foundation. The Empire only needs to invest a small amount of money to quickly restore the United States.

Moreover, there are too many foreign immigrants in the United States, and they are not united internally. It is very easy to divide and disintegrate them.

Even if they are dissatisfied and want to resist, the Empire can completely use one faction to fight another, and use the nearly 20 million German immigrants in the United States to help the Empire suppress these resistances.

So the United States does not have many problems.

But Russia is different.

Russia’s high latitude and cold climate make this place The development of industry and economy is full of difficulties.

They expanded wildly in the past and swallowed up a lot of land, making the country’s territory span across Eurasia, but most of it is uninhabited ice fields and grasslands. The harsh climate environment, the sparsely populated population, the weak industrial base and the brave and aggressive national character.

It is destined that managing the land of the bear and the people on it is a very difficult task.

Swallowing 160 million bears at one time is simply suicide!

No rational person should support this idea.
